Maximum Cooling radiator
My radiator has a slight leak. I've been reading that the tow package comes with a heavier duty maximum cooling radiator which is two rows on the core.
From another site: "Stock heavy duty radiator is 1.5" wide and a dual row radiator with 55 rows"
I have the tow package on my 4.7L dakota but I haven't been able to verify the radiator type without pulling it apart. Point is, the ones I have come across in parts stores and online are all 1.25" and single row. Example... I do plan to tow and don't want to overheat. Any ideas on where I source the maximum cooling type aside from breaking my pocket at the dealer? Thanks |
i went through 1-800-radiator. price wasn't too bad and it's an all aluminum one. With the mark 8 fan and 180 stat, my 3.9 runs between 177 and 185 with the A/C off, depending on outside temp.

With enough googling anything is possible. Hope this helps someone out.
These are the two aftermarket radiators that match the heavy duty radiator. The first one is a two row core. However, I've seen some complaints from people who ended up with a single row core model in the box when it arrived. I opted for the second model for only that reason (and it's cheaper). The second radiator is a single row but the core thickness is 1.63" vs 1.25" of the typical aftermarket. That's even thicker than the OEM 1.5" two row. Of course, two rows gives you a lot more surface area to cool. For 2000 - 2004 Dakotas. 1. Valeo 732622 two row radiator 2. CSF 3516 radiator (got this one) |
not sure on part number, but mine is a CSF.
